Rust Terminal Beautification Pack

Add a beautiful, lightweight, culturally-inspired theme layer to your existing terminal

Problem
A developer built a terminal inspired by Bosnian medieval tombstones, showing aesthetic demand for terminal looks, but rewriting a terminal is high-barrier. Most users just want nice themes and fonts for existing terminals like iTerm2 or Windows Terminal.
Solution
A theme pack with color schemes, font recommendations, prompt templates, and decorative elements (background textures, icons), supporting one-click import into mainstream terminals, plus an online previewer.
Users
Developers, terminal enthusiasts, programmers who care about desktop aesthetics
MVP
5-10 high-quality color themes; export to iTerm2, Windows Terminal, Alacritty formats; online palette preview; zsh/bash prompt beautification scripts; simple install guide
Revenue
One-time theme pack purchase ($5-15) or subscription for monthly new themes; free + donation option
Why now
Terminal beautification is an ongoing need and indie developers can produce quickly; existing theme markets are fragmented, lacking packaged cultural/artistic themes
